Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic

A Superhydrophobic 3D Cell Culture System Reveals the Mechanobiological Role of Cancer‐Associated Fibroblasts in Prostate Cancer Metastasis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A superhydrophobic 3D cell culture platform enables rapid and consistent formation of heterotypic tumor–stroma clusters, and reveals how physiological shear conditions influence metastatic signaling. Mechanical stimulation of cancer‐associated fibroblasts promotes sustained cytokine secretion and survival‐promoting pathways, showing how multicellular ...

Sentinel Node and Mechanism of Lymphatic Metastasis

Annals of Vascular Diseases, 2012
The validity and clinical usefulness of the sentinel node (SN) concept for breast cancer has been confirmed, and individualized limited surgery based on diagnosis of SN metastasis is presently performed. In the future, SN navigation surgery (SNNS) will be actively applied to the treatment of early gastric cancer, and an intraoperative real-time reverse

Matrix Viscoelasticity Regulates Dendritic Cell Migration and Immune Priming

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Matrix viscoelasticity is a key mechanical feature of the tumor microenvironment but remains poorly understood in immune regulation. Here, we develop a tunable collagen platform to decouple viscoelasticity from stiffness and show that slow‐relaxing matrices constrain dendritic cell migration by limiting actomyosin‐driven matrix remodeling, thereby ...

Generation of sphingosine-1-phosphate is enhanced in biliary tract cancer patients and is associated with lymphatic metastasis

Scientific Reports, 2018
Lymphatic metastasis is known to contribute to worse prognosis of biliary tract cancer (BTC). Recently, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive lipid mediator generated by sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1), has been shown to play an important role in ...

Orthotopic liver transplantation for massive hepatic lymphangiomatosis [PDF]

, 1988
Lymphangiomatosis is a rare malformation of the lymphatic system that causes severe symptoms secondary to progressive growth into or close to vital structures. A case report of liver failure related to this space-occupying intrahepatic mechanism is taken

Angiopoietin‐2 drives lymphatic metastasis of pancreatic cancer

The FASEB Journal, 2011
ABSTRACT Lymphatic metastasis constitutes a critical route of disease dissemination, which limits the prognosis of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). As lymphangiogenesis has been implicated in stimulation of lymphatic metastasis by vascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C) and VEGF‐D, we ...

From Mechanisms to Treatment: A Comprehensive View of Lymphatic Metastasis in Cancer

Lymphatics
The lymphatic system, a complex and dynamic network comprising lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes (LNs), and associated lymphoid tissues, plays a pivotal role in regulating interstitial fluid balance and providing immune surveillance across the body.
